Chapter 177 Gu'an Hall
Lu Chengjing held his daughter's chubby little hands and patiently walked her around in circles in the yard.
With someone holding him, the little baby is not afraid of falling. He walks with longer steps and takes every step very carefully.
A wolf and a child squatted nearby and watched, their heads turning accordingly.
The evening breeze blew by, making the leaves rustle.
The last ray of afterglow disappeared into the horizon, and the chirping of cicadas gradually faded away.
Lamps were lit in the yard, reflecting two shadows, one large and one small.
The little shadow let go of the big shadow's hand and moved forward gradually, farther and farther.
Yuanyuan opened her arms to maintain balance, walked steadily step by step, and finally threw herself into Shang Wan's arms with open arms with a smile.
"Mom!" With a bright smile and eyes that turned into crescent moons, the little baby raised her hands and patted her chest, "Me! Great!"
"Well, the good boy is the best!" Shang Wan raised his eyes and looked at Lu Chengjing, who was also looking here, with the corners of his lips curled up.
·
In the early morning of the second day, Shang Wan was in a daze when he suddenly felt heavy.
She opened her eyes suddenly and unexpectedly met a pair of big round eyes.
"Mom!" The little girl Yuanyuan lay on her mother's body, raising her little feet and dangling up and down, and said in a soft and waxy voice, "Go and play!"
Little Milkman can't wait to go to town.
Shang Wan turned his head to look at the faint light coming from the window, opened his mouth and yawned. She stretched out her hand to pinch the baby's fleshy cheeks, and said in a lazy voice, "Don't worry, we'll go after breakfast."
A big hand reached out to pick up the baby, and Lu Chengjing, who was neatly dressed, said, "I'll take her out, and you can sleep a little longer."
"I'm not going to sleep anymore." Shang Wan sat up and couldn't sleep comfortably, so he might as well get up and load things into the city onto the oxcart.
The cool water from the well splashed on the face and took away the last trace of sleepiness.
"Good morning, sister!" Xiaohuan came over with a basin and fetched water to wash up.
Shang Wan took off the wet handkerchief from his face and turned to look at her, "If there is anything you want to buy, I will buy it as well."
Xiaohuan thought for a moment and said, "We are running out of salt at home, so we can buy two kilograms of it. Then we can buy another piece of cotton. The cotton will absorb sweat and make small clothes for Yuanyuan and Anian to prevent them from sweating and getting rashes due to the heat."
Shang Wan wrote them down one by one and asked, "Do you prefer to wear ready-made clothes or buy cloth and make it yourself?"
Xiaohuan was stunned for a moment and then said: "Do it yourself."
"Then I'll buy two more pieces of cloth. Don't just think about us, make yourself some new clothes." Shang Wan asked, "What color do you like?"
Xiaohuan: "Anything is fine."
Shang Wan was very dissatisfied with this answer. He thought for a while and said, "Go to the city with me and choose for yourself."
Xiao Huan hesitated, "But no one cooks at home, and the clothes are not washed. The medicinal materials..."
"It's just one or two meals, let them make it by themselves. The clothes can be washed when they come back. We can wash them together quickly. Take care of the medicinal materials and stones. If not, there will be your brother-in-law."
Shang Wan interrupted Xiaohuan and looked at her helplessly, "You have been busy all day long. You should also think about yourself and let yourself rest. You are the most honest person in our family and will not be lazy."
Xiaohuan pursed her lips, "But..."
"No buts." Shang Wan said firmly, "Come with me, and you can help me keep an eye on Yuanyuan while I sell medicinal materials."
After hearing this, Xiaohuan stopped objecting and nodded in agreement.
We set out after breakfast. Xiao Huan was a worried person. When making breakfast, he simply made lunch as well. He could eat it just by heating it up at noon.
The number of people entering the city changed from two adults and one child to two adults and two children. Under Chu Xu's strong show of cuteness, Shang Wan took him with him.
Anyway, if you have one baby, you are a baby. If you have two babies, you are a baby. If you want to, just follow. Lu Chengjing and Shitou, who were left to look after the house, said: "..."
They want to go too!
·
There are three more people on the bullock cart, which is much more lively than one person.
The two children were as excited as birds out of the cage, sitting on the bullock cart and talking non-stop.
Xiaohuan took out the dried meat and used it to grind the teeth of the two children, and their ears were finally a little cleaner.
After queuing up and paying the city entrance fee, the ox cart entered the city. Shang Wan turned to the three people in the car and said, "Let's go to the medical center in a while, and then go shopping after selling Yajiang."
"good."
Shang Wan had already chosen a medical clinic - Gu'antang.
Dr. Sun, who was invited to the court for medical treatment before, is the sitting doctor of Gu'antang. If the medical clinic wants to buy medicinal materials, it must be judged by the doctor. If there are acquaintances there, the chance of selling them will be higher.
Gu'antang is in the west of the city. It is a small two-story building with a backyard. The front is not big, but it is decorated very grandly. You can see it at a glance as long as you turn into this street.
Shang Wan stopped the bullock cart and looked inside.
It was still early, and besides the waiter and two unfamiliar doctors, there were only three patients in Gu'an Hall.
Seeing an oxcart parked at the door, the waiter came out to welcome him and asked politely: "Is this lady coming to the hospital to see a doctor?"
"If you don't want to see a doctor, I'll see your shopkeeper." Shang Wan jumped out of the cart and asked, "Is the shopkeeper here?"
The waiter saw that Shang Wan was so angry and wanted to see the shopkeeper as soon as he arrived. He couldn't help but wonder, and asked: "I wonder why you are looking for the shopkeeper?"
Shang Wan said: "I have a batch of good Yajiang here. It would be a pity to sell it casually. The doctors at Gu'antang have superb medical skills and are kind-hearted doctors. I think they can make the best use of them. I wonder if Gu'antang can accept them?"
The clerk was stunned. He really didn't expect that Shang Wan was here to sell medicinal materials.
Only then did he raise his eyes and look at Shang Wan carefully.
Shang Wan wore a long autumn-colored dress today, her hair was simply pulled into a bun, and a sandalwood hairpin was inserted sideways.
There is no makeup applied on the face, but it is smooth and fair, with a rosy complexion. She has dark eyebrows and red lips, and a pair of moist apricot eyes, which seem to be smiling when she bends them slightly.
In summer, her clothes are light and thin, and she wears a belt to make her slim figure more prominent.
Although the beauty is beautiful, there seems to be no such person in the drug stores in the city.
The clerk considered it carefully and said: "The medicinal materials used in the medical clinic are delivered by the drug stores that we have regular cooperation with."
This is a polite refusal.
Shang Wan knew that things were not that easy, so the smile on his face did not diminish and he asked again: "Is the shopkeeper not here?"
The waiter nodded and said truthfully: "The shopkeeper left the city yesterday and will not come back until the day after tomorrow."
What a bad luck.
Shang Wan secretly observed the waiter's expression. This did not sound like an excuse. The shopkeeper of Gu'antang should really not be here.
She glanced at the two unfamiliar doctors in Gu'an Hall and asked the waiter: "I have an old relationship with Mr. Sun. Is he here?"
The waiter saw what Shang Wan wanted to do, and he looked a little hesitant.
Shang Wan said: "Good medicinal materials are rare. I'm just looking around. I won't buy or sell them by force. No matter whether the medicinal materials are good or not, Gu'antang will not suffer any loss."
Just to see that it was nothing, the hesitation on the waiter's face disappeared and he said, "The old gentleman is resting in the backyard. I will ask him to come out right now."
Being able to see personnel is half the battle. Shang Wan curled his lips and said with a smile, "Thank you."
The waiter turned around and walked into Gu'antang. Shang Wan jumped on the ox cart and drove the ox cart to the side so as not to block the door of the medical clinic and disturb other people's business.
